The magistrate legitimately exercised his discretion by finding that the appellant's conduct (cooking in a staff‑only kitchen at lunchtime while wearing an apron) and failure to explain at investigation and trial objectively brought suspicion upon him, constituting a positive reason to refuse costs; the Court of First Instance found no error in that exercise and dismissed the appeal.
